(frustratingly pics are not in sequence)
I wanted to share with you a setup I just purchased for my GSA (when mobile) Bike Security.
Its rather elegant I thought, and a decent set up.
I eventually chose the Pragmasis 13mm Bike Chain (2 Meters). 13mm hardened steel is the minimum recommended to defeat Bolt Croppers (these are guaranteed) as carefully hardened but remains tensile.
Yes it won't defeat portable Grinders, but it'll slow them down at least.
I found out by accident, that the 13mm chain FITS through the rear axle and wheel on the 2017 GSA Triple Black.
So now I needed the lightest weight padlock solution. Which turns out to be a RL21 Round Lock. Like a dumbell, easy to use (just use a key to split into two parts, feed through the chain link and connect back together.
Quote "Our custom-made SecurityForBikes RL21 RoundLock super-compact padlock. Sold Secure Motorcycle Gold/Quad & ATV Gold/Bicycle Gold/Motor Scooter Gold approved with any appropriately-approved chain and also on its own (e.g. as a disc lock). "
I wrapped a thick cable tie to the lead chain link so it can easily be pulled through the axle with care.
It really is an elegant solution as it now can't be pulled back through the wheel and axle.
I've used a Noose Chain so it can be threaded through a ground anchor (outside) or around some immovable object.
I have a more durable durable solution for at home (which for obvious reasons I can't share).
What do you think?
